In 3951 BBY, after Surik arrived on the moon, several Zhug brothers attacked Surik and her companions without Dezanti, failing in their attempts. After Surik left Nar Shaddaa, Dezanti followed her to Iziz, the capital of Onderon. Both the Zhugs' Heraklon-class transport ship and Surik's freighter, the Ebon Hawk, were shot down by the Onderonian blockade amid the Onderon Civil War. After crash-landing on Onderon's moon Dxun, Dezanti and two of his fellow Zhug brothers tried to kill Surik but died in the attempt.
